The typical age of a person living in aged care is 84, with an average life expectancy of just three years1. The needs and aspirations of a young person with high care needs typically differ greatly to those of older residents, meaning specific care needs are often not being met. Regardless of their care needs, young people should be living their young lives with choice, independence and dignity. Youngcare works to champion the voices of young Australians with high care needs, raising awareness and funds to resolve this critical national issue. 1Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2011.

  • Paul Fletcher Pf
    1 National Conference - PAUL FLETCHER PF: Well, thanks very much, Anthony and congratulations to you and to Youngcare, to Luke and the Summer Foundation for organising this very important event to discuss specialist disability accommodation or SDA. And congratulations to your two organisations and all the other organisations in the room, which are powerful advocates for the importance of quality housing choices for people with complex disability support and housing needs. In my view, the delivery of modern well-designed specialist disability accommodation, or SDA, at an increasing rate, is one of the most powerful ways in which the NDIS is helping Australians with disability to live better lives. With more dignity, more self determination, more engagement with the broader community, but quite simply, more joy in their lives. But don’t listen to me; listen to Liz who I met recently on a visit to the new unit accommodation she’s living in, in Fairfield, in Melbourne. Liz: I’m Liz, I moved in to my new apartment a month ago. It’s really exciting because it’s the first time I’ve lived anywhere on my own and it’s very, very cool. It’s a home instead of someone’s workplace. With the NDIS in conjunction with other organisations, to make things like this happen; it’s just so special. PF: So today, I want to speak firstly about the progress that we’re making with SDA including the changes we announced recently. Next, to discuss our plan for younger people in residential aged care and finally to report on how we’re doing in delivering overall on the promise of the NDIS.

  • Shelter Nsw Student Report – Younger People in Residential Aged Care
    NOVEMBER 2020 YOUNGER PEOPLE IN RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE amy sheridan for shelter nsw student internship report Prepared by: Amy Sheridan for Shelter NSW Level 1, 241 Castlereagh Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000 0 1 [email protected] +612 9267 5733 AMY SHERIDAN SHELTER NSW STUDENT REPORT – YOUNGER PEOPLE IN RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE This report was developed over a 600-hour work placement by Amy Sheridan who was undertaking her master’s in social work. It was developed for the use of Shelter N.S.W. and outlines the Australian issue of younger people living in Residential Aged Care (RAC) facilities. This report will provide a summary of the background of this issue and explain who some of these younger people are and why they ended up in RAC. The Australian system will be contextualized amongst some international examples, and some of the main funding options and issues will be explored. Finally, this report will analyse the reasons why RAC is inappropriate for younger people, and in closing, present some of the ways forward in responding to this issue, through pathways like housing, education and community. Background In 2019, Australia had 6048 people under the age of 65 living in RAC facilities, with an average admission rate of 42 people per week (Summer Foundation, 2019). These are people who have entered RAC due to a lack of appropriate high care facilities that can cater to their requirements as they experience intellectual, physical, psychological, or sensory disabilities (Dyer et al., 2019, p. 23). Many of these people acquired their disability during early adulthood and 80% never leave RAC once admitted (Summer Foundation, 2019, p.

  • Ap2 Final 16.2.17
    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.

However it is highly relevent to the 6 countries of the Coral Triangle. Project Summary (from Proposal) This report presents the threats that climate change poses to the Coral Triangle according to 2 different scenarios, in order to build support for the goals of the Coral Triangle Initiative. Summary of Accomplishments The report was released in Manado, Indonesia in May 2009 at the World Oceans Conference. The report received a very high level of publicity, both amongst the media and amongst the delegates at the conference. The number of media articles generated by the r eport was documented to be approximately 950 with coverage spread globally, and the report was launched by the Indonesian Minister for Climate Change and Environment. Since the launch the report has been regularly referenced by decision makers, scientist s and community based organisations and has been regularly used to guide thinking about the impacts of climate change across the Coral Triangle and what form the response to the impacts should take. Lessons Learned The report was conceived, researched, written and produced over a period of approximately four months.

  • Questions & Answers & Tweets
    Questions & Answers & Tweets Jock Given & Natalia Radywyl Abstract This article reports on the integration of Twitter messages into the live television broadcast of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) weekly public affairs discussion program, Q&A. The program first went to air in May 2008; Twitter integration began two years later. Twitter integration is an evolving example of ‘participation television’, but not one that involves the kind of remote- control/set-top-box interactivity that digital television promised. Q&A integrates broadcast and online content in a way the program makers thought would serve the animating purpose of the television program: to increase public engagement in politics. It is an attempt to use the internet to make television better rather than to concede its eclipse, by marrying brief fragments of online speech with the one-way, single-channel authority of a television program broadcast live across a nation by a public service broadcaster. The research draws on data about Twitter use supplied by the ABC and its contractor TweeVee TV, OzTAM television ratings data, interviews and email correspondence with ABC staff and others conducted by the two authors between June and October 2011, and observations on the making of the episode of the show in Sydney on 29 May 2011. Keywords: digital television, public service broadcasting, social media, television, Twitter Here’s what we’ll be looking for as we dip into the #QandA stream— • tweets that are concise (short), timely and on topic • tweets that are witty and entertaining • tweets that add a fresh perspective to the debate • tweets that make a point without getting too personal (ABC 2011a) Introduction In May 2010, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) began to display Twitter ‘tweets’ on-screen in the broadcast of the hour-long, weekly current affairs discussion program, Q&A.1 In each hour-long episode, around 80–100 tweets using the hashtag #qanda are selected for display in the broadcast program.
